Well you can say that of course.

But most of future OSes will work that way.

Actually on Vista I don't install anything because the app is already in the system.

I don't have the problem since in functionality it's the same.

So I get your point but in reverse - I wouldn't use mass storage anymore

since I can browse internal memory also.

On X1 mass storage I couldn't.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Thanks mate but I'm not sure why :D
[XPERIA X2 General] gunawan-1:
How do you think about Android OS? Powerful enough to compete with WM?
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
In many ways yes.

But as I remember it also had some shortcomings.

I don't have a full list of what is comparable, worse or better.

But in many ways yes. And it's growing.
[XPERIA X2 General] flyken74:
I have using all different phone past few years.. I'm now using X1 and X2. also my Samsung Wave for daily driver.. either X1 or X2, any of this can come closer to my Samsung Wave for any performance.. but I like the design of X1 and X2.. these are my 2 favorite phone for all these year.. I had my X1 for over a year now, finally put back the Genetic Rom from here.. but my X2 I had it just about a month now and did updated it to WM 6.5.3 few days ago.. just one question..

what is MR2? anyone tell me what this is.. I know I'm stupid.. :p
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
MR2 is the X2 upgrade number.

Current one with WM 6.5.3.

The Android performance may be good.

The question is about limitations though.

I still think WM 6.5.3 is the richest in terms of flexibility

of all the platforms.
[XPERIA X2 General] gunawan-1:
Honestly I'm dissaponted. Very angry actually. I started use SE phone since T68 (first color LCD Phone), P800,....., X1,now X2. In many case I don't really bother about bug in X1. except the speaker is so low. But this X2 make me crazy. I don't know how really fix or tweak. I choose X2 because it is PDA phone or Pocket PC phone. But what I can get from this stupid phone. I cannot even receive sms smoothly and so many more bugs.

But the most problem is, SE never accomplish what they promise. Example about Update. Now... I don't dare to wait for another update after SE is busy shouting about Android. We seem like waiting the moon to come across river.

I myself think that all the X2 users have been cheated.

My cheated by SE. And may be we have been cheated by WM also.

Just think. in many term, WM should be richer. but the problem is WM now is busy talking about WM7. Although both are the same about WM, but the diferrence about 6.5.3 and 7.0 is sooooo far.

So.... my conclusion... SE and WM is both damn **** company.

I find that in my country, now China mobile is using Android too. Soo... Which or what phone is the smartest now?

What ever the answer is making no different. All I know is...me is the stupid one to trust this ****.

What do you say?
[XPERIA X2 General] Biges:
Well I don't think it would be that difficult for SE to correct this. When Satio is connected, it offers four modes - PC Suite, Media Transfer, Mass storage and Print. I really think SE should just invest into making X2 perfect. Maybe it would cost them money, but save the reputation. Unsatisfied customer has 7x larger impact than a satisfied one.

And they should send you some X2s for free for saving their reputation to some degree ;-)
[XPERIA X2 General] zapalkam:
Simulate USB Mass Storgae

I use the program WM5torage as a simulation of USB Mass Storage - without any trouble (only with MR2 Update - if I used it in MR1 - there is some errors in connection with PC but without any data loss)..
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
They should definitely do this homework to make this work perfect.

I absolutely agree.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
I would wait for WP7 to see what it gives.

Than decide regarding the OS.
[XPERIA X2 General] emuneee:
You'd be surprised. I had an X1 about six months ago. I have a galaxy s now. It is on par with windows mobile as far as customizations are concerned. I liken this thing to a mini Linux computer in my pocket.

Of course this is all dependant on if you can root the thing or not.
[XPERIA X2 General] michaelthemage:
Hey thanks for the tip. Just downloaded version 1.9 and will see if it works. It this is so easily done via a software, then SE should really put this into the next firmware release.... if there will be one....again!

;)
[XPERIA X2 General] gunawan-1:
Just say Bye to X2. I consider X10 / X10 mini / X10 mini pro.

Senior, What is the difference any way about the OS? (as I know all of them is Android)

Which phone do you suggest? (As long is not dissapointing like X2)

I review another thread about Android 1.8 and 2.1. Is it really big fifference?

Thanks
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Of the above? Get X10.

It has a big screen, good camera and soon upgrade to Android 2.1.

X10 minis have not any promise of having any higher Android.

X10 has 1.6 now. 2.1 brings alot of new functionality.

AFAIK regarding Bluetooth and better video recording, speed and stability. I don't remember all but it's a big upgrade.

Android 2.2 brings also full 10.1 Flash.

Get X10.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
But I would wait for WP7.

Looks like a great OS really.
[XPERIA X2 General] gunawan-1:
But I'm afraid SE will not publish this OS such phone. But now a day Android is booming. So I decide to use X10. If WM7 already aroud, I will consider later.

But what is the different between Android in X10 , X10 mini and X10 mini pro?

Consider the price is so different?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Yes SE is going to release WP7 device, just not now.

Differences are exemplified in my previous post.

X10 mini has also redesigned homescreen to suit the small screen.
[XPERIA X2 General] alecuwo:
apa yang kurang dari x2 bos.....?
[XPERIA X2 General] gunawan-1:
So many bugs. Can't explain 1 by 1. But it break my heart.

May be the problem is not SE, but the problem is in Microsoft.

I still prefer SE than other brands.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Well WM may be buggy or problematic,

but in this case it's a SE fault
[XPERIA X2 General] needmoregigs:
The X10 has a 4 inch screen, a 1GHz processor, 384MB of ram, and 1GB internal memory.

The X10 mini has a 2.5 inch screen, 600MHz processor, and 128MB of ram. The mini pro is the exact same but with a qwerty keyboard.

From what I read, the mini and mini pro are quite quick little phones despite having slower hardware.

The X8 is supposed to be coming soon too. Same specs as the mini but with a 3 inch screen.
[XPERIA X2 General] gunawan-1:
Thanks to all friends. I just buy X10. hohohoh. very responsive. I like that. The sound is too low but clear. Still upgrading. The style is very exclusive. I like that. but... don't know yet.:rolleyes:

But one thing is upsetting, no video call.:(
[XPERIA X2 General] adkz:
OMG and I thought of buying X2 because my X1 is somewhere in another city being send for repair because of the d-pad rubber getting stuck on the top part (Asked me MYR200 just to fix the ribbon and i told him off saying he should not cheat me).

After reading a few sites and finally here, I might just stick with my x1 and wait for windows 7 phone.
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Most of the time X2 is sweet.
[XPERIA X2 General] pronor:
Hi, I would buy it again. It´s fantastic hardware, the problem are the panels - but who really needs them? I am running it only with SPB Shell and it is very stable and comfortable. If I get POWER Radio FM working on it, I will kíck off Slide View as well and than it will be the perfect device :)

pronor
[XPERIA X2 General] gunawan-1:
X2 has good hardware, stronger keyboard,clear LCD. The problem is the software.

But thanks all friends. especially doministry, the suggestion and knowledge already open my eyes.:)

Just try playing with android.:)

May be later if SE release wm7, I will consider again
[XPERIA X2 General] faizulrahim:
X2 should've been sweeter

Long sigh everytime I look at the gorgeous shell; it's let me down when I really need it to work properly. The backlight is poor and I couldn't see a **** of what was on the screen; decided to answer and terrifying voice came barking at me asking me to drop my fishing rod and head back asap. It's not fun man.

And;

It's sad thing; I had a lot of things done using the measly ol K810i; and I thought X2 was supposed to double my productivity. Oh yeah, it did in some ways by educating me a bit about patching sw, bit of pieces here, bit of pieces there..

To SE folks - I've left sw engineering a decade ago. Your job is to help people in getting things done with the X2 most of the time. You can't expect endusers to 'fill-up' the cracks in the system. I think X10 will face with the same dilemma, if the "dont-care" attitude is still maintained toward the X2. SE fix it, win more fans; else HTC is just around the corner..the ranting goes on inside..
[XPERIA X2 General] faizulrahim:
If there's some magic I can get hold off..it would be a direct lightning strike onto SE corporate office folks..a bit of tremor down Microsoft..I am getting sick of applying sw patches here and there..Getting X10 wouldn't make any difference if SE still maintains the subtle "dont care" attitude towards improving the X2..they way they manage the product really sucks..I bet you a million bucks that you'll face the same "patchup" dilemma with the X10. We simply don't have time to fillup the cracks in half-developed systems...the ranting goes on..
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
X10 has a roadmap incl. 2.1 and than improved 2.1 with some 2.2 things incorporated.

X2 was on a good route too but never removed bugs....

And even bigger pity 'cos not all WM 6.5 devices even have 6.5.3 which X2 has.... which is good.

you have to flash a new rom onto the device.

choose one from this forum, which fits your purposes best, and flash it. you need to do HardSPL before.

Hello,

have anyone a tut to compile ADWLauncher from gtihub source?

For Windows 7 or Linux Ubuntu.

I have all tools but no instructions.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fantasyxu:
I found some instructions as follows:

1. fecth source code from aosp

2. replace Launcher2 with ADW source

3. make Launcher2 in aosp directory

Is there any easy way?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Piti8576:
Mhm ok.

Can anyone compile a ADWLauncher 1.0.1 mdpi for CM 5.0.8 with correct menu settings?

Only under menu -> settings -> ADW.Launcher

and not under menu -> ADW.Launcher and under menu -> settings -> ADW.Launcher.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lieryan:
Here's how I do it, no need to download the whole AOSP:

Prerequisite:

1. Install Android SDK (see, hxxp://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html (WARNING: link obfuscated))

2. Install Apache Ant

Compiling:

1. fetch ADW's source code, I used the standalone branch, don't know if it makes any difference otherwise (`git clone -b standalone hxxps://github.com/AnderWeb/android_packages_apps_Launcher.git ~/adwlauncher` (WARNING: Link obfuscated))

2. Create project file (`android update project --path ~/adwlauncher`)

3. Make the project with ant (`ant debug` or `ant install`; see `ant help` for more build targets)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bond00:
Right now I have an unrooted stock Evo. Here's the software version info.

Firmware 2.1-update1

Baseband 2.05.00.06.10

Software 1.47.651.1

Kernel 2.6.29

My question is, can I downgrade the Baseband to 1.39.00.04.26? I figure I'll probably have to root it, load the Baseband zip to my SD, and install it through recovery...I just don't want to brick it!

Is this safe to do? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdogg836:
Just do this if you want root and 1.47.651.1. Simple one click action, especially since you have the patched version and need to do the flash hack.

[Vibrant General] N8QDogg:
Hey guys, I have been using smart phones for a while and usually get around great without rooting. I had the HTC Dream back in the day and couldnt use it without rooting, lol. I am upgrading from the G1 which has met the end of the road for me. What are the benefits of rooting? With the Vibrant which I will finally have on Tuesday, is it necessary? And if it is HIGHLY recommended, how do I go about rooting it?
[Vibrant General] skater4690:
i would say root it cause its really easy takes not even 5 minutes seriously lol but i would also root it cause there is lots of bloatware on this thing so many apps that arent needed
[Vibrant General] Pneumatic:
I am not generally a rooter but this one seemed so easy (and it is) that I did it.

I didn't root the phone to dig into the files, I did it just so I could install stuff that I couldn't otherwise install. It bugged me to see a cool app and then read "YOU MUST HAVE ROOT ACCESS". That's not a problem anymore. :)

You certainly don't lose anything by rooting so I would say go for it.
[Vibrant General] ua412:
Any other disadvantages/advantages
[Vibrant General] skater4690:
really there are no disadvantages accept maybe warranty but i think theres a way to unroot so no probs but once everything starts picking up there will be way more advantages than disadvantages
[Vibrant General] LovellKid:
Besides the fact of removing awful apps (Bloatware), you can use your phone to tether. Also you can use an app called SetCPU to overclock your processor to actaully use your 1GHZ processor which speeds your phone up, along with a ton of other root apps. Youll be able to flash custom ROMS, flash themes, etc. Not sure if there is a volume hack for the vibrant yet, but that has been a reason for past rooted phones as well.

I highly recommend it...:)
[Vibrant General] nick_karstedt:
AdFree Android removes nearly all ads from websites and apps
[Vibrant General] Mr_Tricorder:
reasons to root

1. Use apps that require root access (such as Titanium Backup and Drocap2)

2. Remove preloaded bloatware (who needs TeleNav when Google Maps Navigation is totally free?)

3. Full access to filesystem (useful for developers and general tinkerers)

reasons not to root

1. Always involves some risk (however small) of irreversibly damaging your device

2. Could void warranty or official support

3. Makes it easier for you to accidentally mess up your system.
[Vibrant General] ryan562:
I only rooted my mytouch and g1 phones so i can get apps2sd, wi-tethering, and overclockcpu.

however, since the upcoming froyo update will allow most of that, i chose not to root for the time being. the phone is very fast and stable for my current needs and has an ample amount of internal memory. the only other reason to root for me would be to flash roms/themes because of my dislike for Samsung's TouchWiz.

it depends on what you ultimately want to get out of your phone.
[Vibrant General] talltexan:
Same for me i had the g1 loved to root however i switched to unlocked iphone and now im back with the vibrant , the vibrant does everything i want now and the ease of the rooting might have me root if froyo is delayed by Tmobile or something.
[Vibrant General] N8QDogg:
Understood, also from reading I dont think there is a way to unroot the phone at all is it? And another ? since you all are being so helpful, is there already an app to at least see what speed your processor is running at. i know that task managers arent really needed, but some of them showed ur cpu speed as well as the load on it. is that something that anyone had an interest in and found. thanks for all of you all's help
[Vibrant General] Shagman68:
Hmm, still debating on rooting. Waiting for my Froyo update. Plus I want to port my Harley-Davidson theme I made for my G1 to Vibrant. Hopefully they don't use those CRAMS files on Vibrant, cause that is when I had to stop themeing my G1. CRAMS was too difficult to mess with. Is the signing file method gonna be the same as G1, or is there a different testsign file? Plus I hope to see my stock file, plus a thinned down, less bloatware file, and themeing templates. So many factors to consider.
[Vibrant General] WilliamStern:
I say ROOT! I've never rooted a phone till this one. I just couldn't stand all the bloatware that was in this phone. They just had to be removed. Now all I'm waiting for are some sick ass ROMs I've seen done for other devices to hit this one. I'm sure I'll need help doing so, but this community has been fantastic when help is needed.

Plus side for me is that I also have a 3 week old New still in the box Nexus One as a backup phone in case I screw this one up.
[Vibrant General] SickOfItAll:
I rooted mine because people kept saying you could tether, but none of the tethering apps actually WORK. They install fine, and Wireless-Tethering says it's working, but the access point never shows up. And Wired-Tethering says the kernel isn't compatible.

So I'd like to hear from any rooted users who actually got them working AND successfully tethered a laptop with it.
[Vibrant General] ryan562:
if there's any delay on the froyo update, i'd blame it on samsung :(
[Vibrant General] os2baba:
I was hoping not to have to root the phone so soon - especially until I could reset it back and a recover like Amon's is available, but after a glorious couple of days of honeymoon, the lags are just killing the experience for me. And I don't think I have a choice now, but to root. I'll try a general reset and see if it works. I have another Vibrant that seems to be only slightly laggy. But I have to return that one and keep the problematic one :-(

Even moving icons on the desktop now takes almost 2 second. Linpack still clocks at 8.5. No problem at all playing a video - just OS operations. The camera froze for 5 minutes and I finally had to just restart the phone. Restarting the phone is not painful on this device though. Very fast.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
At this time so early in Vibrant development.. it honestly doesn't really make much of a difference if you root early or root later. Just enjoy the phone for what it is as of right now until the modding community becomes settled in. Just be aware if there are any incoming OTAs if you are unrooted to make sure that the OTA didn't do anything that would change the rooting process.

- Recovery (ability to flash custom ROMs) is in the making

- Custom ROM developers -- in the makes soon

I would personally go ahead and root it to unlock some essential applications and it takes <1 minute to do and its pretty simple. But there isn't any rush to root it now or later.. not at least CyanogenMod6 (Android 2.2) gets released for this beastly phone to have JIT.
[Vibrant General] PolishDude:
nm found it
[Vibrant General] Mr_Tricorder:
With the root method given so far, I think the only thing you have to do to unroot it is to remove Superuser Permissions. That's the only thing that the root procedure added to the phone.

Hello guys!At first I thought about making a poll about which you think is the most beautiful handset around here,but I realised that with the variety of devices available it would take half my life to make a poll like it!So you can post freely and say your opinion! :)

I want to ask of you to stay on topic if possible.This is not a thread meant to find out which has the best performance or anything else,nor for people to argue about.It's just for people's opinions to be heard.

As OP,I am posting my preference first! :D

Well,I think that the most beautiful device I've seen is the Diamond(the original,not Topaz).It seems like a tiny piece of modern art,like it's built to be beautiful.And it supports the saying "Diamonds are forever"! ;)

So what's your favourite guys?

The HD2 is hands down the most beautiful phone (other than the iphone I would have to add). Good size, beautiful huge screen, even the battery cover is brushed metal. Too bad they locked it to TMobile as I am with Sprint. The Evo 4g is "related" to the HD2 but is bigger in every dimension and the back is not as nice and doesn't feel as durable as the HD2.

[General Topics] Cry Havoc:
I disagree, I think the Evo looks superior to the HD2. The hard buttons on the bottom of the HD's interface really break up the overall look and layout of the phone, for me.
